Dumping Syndrome at 5 1/2 years post surgery

Hey guys,

I am at the 6 year post surgery mark and I have noticed the past few months to almost a year that I seem to have dumping syndrome almost after every meal. Anyone else experiencing this? I've been under more stress in life than usual but there is definitely a direct correlation to 15 minutes after I eat.

Maybe describe your symptoms...

Have you spoken with your surgeon?

diarrhea within 15-20 minutes after eating

I saw where you had your surgery in Mexico. So I recommend you talk with your family doctor. You can get a referral to a GI specialist that might help you figure out what is going on. Have you been keeping up with your yearly bloodwork and everything?

I had this earlier this year...

I was not eating meat, and it cause me a ton of issues. I changed how I was eating, back to my normal way of eating and it has stopped.

The whole experience was pretty traumatic. Have you changed how you are eating lately?

Have you considered IBS? A trip to the doctor is in order. My husband and MIL have IBS, it's triggered by stress and their variety is horrible digestive distress immediately after eating or drinking. Neither is sleeved, both had onset later in life. My husband's is managed well with meds my MILs not so much.

Dietary changes could be the culprit, easily, and any other number of other maladies. It's not necessarily sleeve related.

I'm sorry you're suffering. It's awful. Please see your doc.

Thanks for your response. I haven't changed my diet recently but it sounds like I need to go to my local doc to have a checkup.
